To me, it could be a Ladies cane, or possible walking stick or even Swagger stick maybe, But if I actually found writing on it, of which I've been wrong before, then possibly some part of a presentation piece......I "THINK", in the dark areas of the SECOND IMAGE DOWN, on the <u>BACK</u>, there is lettering that looks like it's Old English.....for me- increasing the contrast and the colors helps the letters pop out a bit....doesn't always work though......am posting both colored and lightened image to hope you see what I'm referring to.....I think there may be a date showing in the Green part, but try as I would, I could only get a visible letter here and there other than the word MAY.... hoping maybe you've got a good strong loupe!!!??
